Lockstep Memory population guidelines For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: • Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 25). • Always install DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 for each installed processor. • Do not install DIMMs in channel 3 for any processor. • DIMM configuration on channel 1 and channel 2 of a processor must be identical. • In multi-processor configurations, each processor must have a valid Lockstep Memory configuration. • In multi-processor configurations, each processor may have a different valid Lockstep Memory configuration. Single-processor Lockstep population order For Lockstep memory mode configurations with a single processor, populate the DIMM slots in the following order: • RDIMM o First: A and B o Next: D and E o Last: G and H o Do not populate slots C, F, or I. • UDIMM o First: A and B o Last: D and E o Do not populate slots C, F, G, H, or I. After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for Lockstep memory support ("Configuring lockstep memory" on page 50). Multi-processor Lockstep population order For Lockstep memory mode configurations with multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots for each processor in the following order: • RDIMM o First: A and B o Next: D and E o Last: G and H o Do not populate slots C, F, or I. • UDIMM o First: A and B o Last: D and E o Do not populate slots C, F, G, H, or I.

Lockstep Memory population guidelines
For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page
25
).
Always install DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 for each installed processor.
Do not install DIMMs in channel 3 for any processor.
DIMM configuration on channel 1 and channel 2 of a processor must be identical.
In multi-processor configurations, each processor must have a valid Lockstep Memory configuration.
In multi-processor configurations, each processor may have a different valid Lockstep Memory
configuration.
Single-processor Lockstep population order
For Lockstep memory mode configurations with a single processor, populate the DIMM slots in the
following order:
RDIMM
o
First: A and B
o
Next: D and E
o
Last: G and H
o
Do not populate slots C, F, or I.
UDIMM
o
First: A and B
o
Last: D and E
o
Do not populate slots C, F, G, H, or I.
After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for Lockstep memory support ("
Configuring
lockstep memory
" on page
50
).
Multi-processor Lockstep population order
For Lockstep memory mode configurations with multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots for each
processor in the following order:
RDIMM
o
First: A and B
o
Next: D and E
o
Last: G and H
o
Do not populate slots C, F, or I.
UDIMM
o
First: A and B
o
Last: D and E
o
Do not populate slots C, F, G, H, or I.
After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure the system for Lockstep memory support ("
Configuring
lockstep memory
" on page
50
).
